Snow on the 9th of Nav.

EDITOR CRITIC: Thrty-six years ago
party OF coast survey officers went into
camp at Causten's Hill, on the heights OF
Georgetown, to occupy that station for
measurements Of horizontal angles and to
determine the latitude by observations with
the zenith sector. They had fine though
cool weather from the lst till the ith OF May.
On the afternoon OF the 18th cold northeast
storm set in, the temperature fell rapidly
all night, and on the next morning tue
ground was covered with snow to q depth
OF two inches. This snow remained on the
ground till the morning OF May @, when 1t
rapidly disappeared. The writer does not
know of any snowfall in the District since
1851 later In the spring than the 9th of May.
Torril heat, like that of the past few days,
though not usual so early in the season, is
much more likely to occur than snow.

THE HOTEL SUNDAY LAW.

Mr.. Lacombe, as Counsel to the Cor.
poration Of the city of New York, has
decided that under the law hotel keep.
ers have no right to furnish any intoX.
icating beverages whatever. whether
alcs, wines or other spirituous liquors,
to their guests on Sunday, and either
The selling or giving away Of such
drinks on that day Is punishable
oiIense. This decision has naturally
provoked much adverse criticism on
the part Of the hotel kecpcrs, who are
thus subjected ~ n heavy loss, and 1t Is
more than probable that II will result
in formidable contention. The Associ.
alton Of Hotel Keepers "a composed AZ
present of nifty one pupic'ors, repre-.
senting an invested capital of about
10000, 0Oo, md If policy Of resist
arce Is determined upon, combination
so amply provided with the sinews
of war, largely sustained, more
over, by the travelling public
and popular opinion generally,
may make things very lively for
the municipal authorities. y meeting
Of tie association was held Wednesday
evening at the Grand Central Hotel to
consult with reference to the proper
course of action, and the whole matter
was thoroughly discussed, the general
sense of the meeting being that Mr..
Lacomhe had placed forced or erro.
neous construction upon the law, If,
however, the ordinance is in force
which provides that mo inn, tavern or
hotel.keeper shall sell or give away
intoxicating liquor" on Sunday, there
was unanimous opinion expressed
that it applied quite as directly to
clubs, If not TO private individuals
even, as TO hotels, and that its enforce
ment to this extent should be insisted
upon. Under the circumstances, it
was thought best to appoint Commit.
tee on Counsel TO further investigate
the question, and to this committee,
which Is to report at another meeting
Saturday afternoon, was referred a
proposition 10 make test case
for legal determination. In the
meantime, there has been intro
duced In the State Senate at
Albany, bill to enable hotel keepers to
supply their regular guests with such
beverages as they may desire on Sun.
days, and expressly intended to afford
the relief which Counselor Lacombe
says cannot be had under the law as 1t
stands. The position OF Mayor Hewitt
Is that The laws should be administered
as they appear on the statute book
that the best and speediest way, in fact,
to bring an odious law into contempt
and hasten remedial legislation, Il to
vigorously enforce it, This is also the
position Of the hotel keepers in de.
manding that the Sunday sale Of
liquors in the clubs be prohibited and
that no one be exempted from the
operation Of statute that its friends
contend was enacted for the special
purpose of inhibiting drinking abso
lutely and universally for at least one
day in the week.

Mr.. Krauso Criticised.

EDiToR CRITIC: 1t appears to me that the
present difficulty and bad feeling among
the members OF the Musical Union is the
outgrowth of gross violation of the rule;
and regulations which govern said union.
Mr.. Krause, the leader OF the National
Rifle Band, was one OF the committee
which framed and established the present
list OF prices OF the union. Lately this gen
tleman finds his sharp practice discovered,
and he consequently has been charged with
bad faith toward his professional brethren
therefore this bad feeling. The musicians
OF the union only ask fair play. advise
Mr.. Krause to read the old fable written by
lEsop, entitled "The Wolf aud the Lamb y
and see II by careful study he can discover
anything in 1t applicable to his case.

THE VIRGINIA DEET.

The Virginia members of the State
Debt Commission are willing to accept
n settlement on the basis of the Riddle.
berger bill. That is, they estimate
that the net revenues Of the State are
about 1860, 900, which will pay per
cent on S22, 100000. This is all that
can be paid without increasing taxa.
tion, and the people are already taxed
In some instances beyond their ability
TO pay. At any rate they will protest
against the imposition of any addi.
,ional burden, The representatives of
the English bond holders do not ask an
increase of taxation, but diversion of
some of the present appropriations for
schools, asylums and disabled soldiers,
so that larger rate of interest may be
secured on the debt. There is quite as
much hostility to this proposition as
there would be to raising the rate of
taxation, for the reason that the school
fund, asylum fund, etc., are already
barely sufficient and cannot be curtailed
without serious prejudice to the inter.
ests involved. Here Is the hitch, and 1t
is apparently insuperable; but Sir Ed.
ward Thornton may receive from Lon,
